There are a few episodes in human history that have had profound effects. Victor Hanson presents a thesis that the way Greeks evolved into their form of warfare changed the way latter civilizations and countries would view and conduct war. In a convincing set of arguments and observations about ancient warfare conducted by Greek city-states, he makes the case that Greek civilization brought us more than the ideals of democracy.
